I went to the Italian consulate in Washington, DC today and they would not accept my visa application because they said my US visa stamp cannot expire less than 3 months after the end of my trip to Italy. Here's my relevant visa and trip info:
- US visa stamp expires on 16 Dec 2015
- I-797 valid until 3 Mar 2017
- Trip to Italy is from 15 Oct to 25 Oct 2015
Is it true that my visa stamp needs to be valid for 3 months after my trip, even though I can legally stay in the US until 2017? Does anyone have any suggestions for getting a Schengen visa in my situation? Thanks so much in advance.
